Hi crazy_deeps279 . Try posting your questions in the Saltwater Tank part of this forum. If you scroll down on the main forum page you'll find. There are some saltwater folks there that can help you. No - you can't use rock salt for a saltwater aquarium - you need one of the marine salt mixtures, and saltwater is a lot more involved & difficult to set up and maintain. Small tanks can be more difficult to maintain but it can be done. It's quite a bit more expensive than freshwater too.
